You learn more personal and meaningful knowledge from your friends and family than you will ever learn from the news, jobs, and books. Select your friends and network wisely.

As an individual, we are responsible for our own happiness and personal goals.But most of us have been raised with good values by our parents, school, and church.Our challenge is not what we know!The struggle is giving up our internal pride and selfish wills.To be happy, we must live with love from others and walk a righteous path.

In loving others, we have a choice of love or selfishness; love or pride; love or gluttony; love or jealousy; and love or lust…Inside we know we must love, again!It is our decision, no one else’s!

In walking our talk, we cannot do this without belief in God.The candle has been lit by our friends and family.We can choose what is good, just, true, and noble in every situation.Protect it. Don’t let the world corrupt it! It allows us to build long lasting friendships and relationships.

I am on a mission to help people put balance into their lives, be creative, and explore theirunique potential. As fast as this world is changing today, people barely have time to think. With so much to do, it seems easier to just try to do it all rather than stress yourself to decide what’s really important. Doing all the work still won't guarantee you'll reach your deadlines or accomplish your goals.

Your challenge is to find a way to choose the specialthings, not everything. Doing the rightsteps to add creativity to your life is important!Please check out my first published collection of poetry: Secrets of a Heart. These tips have worked for both me and my readers in choosing theimportantthings to focus on in order to lead a less stressful life and feel successful.

A poet, wrapped in the trappings of a—A New American Way culture, finding a way to embrace a difficult world while seemingly rejecting it at first glimpse…but even today maybe mistakenly assuming the worst, then attempting to adapt to its new challenges!

I would appreciate your feed back on my poems.

After a general description of a "New American Way"in the United States, I shift gears into turning a negative situation into a very uplifting and positive life-style of living that will only be revealed after the first 20 pages of the collection of poems or my"Secrets of a Heart!"

You will notice I write mostly about relationships and passions in life. I think that it is because I have always felt energy from these interests throughout my life. They always say you crave the most that you enjoy or have been affected by through emotions triggered from your HEART!!
